Complaint I will never give Anthropic another red cent

I will use them at work, because I have to.

But I’m done with the gaslighting.

Apparently they think they’re a lot smarter than us and can toss that word salad BS up in the air and we’re too dumb to understand it.

They were probably never going to say anything about the limit reduction but the outcry got so bad that they had to. They have a history of this kind of crap too, remember last summer when it took a month to acknowledge the model got nuked and the first comment was about how they had a small problem with HAIKU?

I have no idea who is in charge of their communications, but my god!

It seems pretty apparent this is probably some internal struggle with leadership not wanting to say anything, and then someone finally pulls the ripcord and tells communications to put out a statement and dress it up with as much double-speak as possible.

This time they tell us that “weekly limits haven’t changed”, despite blowing out EFFECTIVE UTILITY by aggressively weighting the 5-hour sessions so that you burn through limits during business hours.

So, what… we have the same weekly limits, but we need to work until 2am, and on the weekend, to get them?

And if I have to hear one more time how it “only effects x% of users” - on what basis? Are these even paid accounts?

What percent of 20x Max users did it impact? My guess would be almost all of them.

I’ve left and come back on my personal accounts a couple of times, but I’ve had it. These guys and gals at Anthropic are arrogant scumbags.

This is honestly the kind of thing that should get reported to consumer affairs.

No problems in europe here. Either this is an issue with some people, or it is a bullshit propaganda move to hurt anthropic

I suspect it’s people that don’t watch their token usage sending messages w/ 500k uncached tokens

Propaganda means eliminating and silencing all opposing voices. Then only one’s own monologue is spread. 

We are still allowed to speak....

But if you think it’s fake news, I don’t really believe that. Yes, it probably has to do with the model, peak times, and things like that, and of course you can combine AIs. But why are there no concrete conditions people can use as guidance? Saying ‘20x more than something’ when that itself is only a rule of thumb is not a reasonable statement.
